Gus was predeceased by his parents, Samuel and Christina Alessi; his brothers, Robert Alessi, Veto Alessi, Nazzerino Alessi, and Carlo Alessi; and sister, Mary (Alessi) Vinciguerra.

WE REMEMBER: He was born on Feb. 13, 1919, the son of Samuel Alessi and Christina Zamarchi. He was born in the same house he lived in for almost all of his life.

He retired in 1984 from the National Gypsum Company, after 35 years of service.

Gus enjoyed the outdoors, and always looked forward to the days he would go hunting or fishing with his recently deceased brother, Carlo. He especially liked the days of ice fishing on Great Bay, when a good catch would be sold to the Pic-n-Pay. He also enjoyed rowing out to catch a batch of flounders in and around New Castle.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in his memory to the Seacoast Dialysis Center-Patient Services Fund, or the charity of one's choice. Arrangements are entrusted to the J.S.
